The steps are very high. As the saying goes, the higher the steps, the higher the threshold, and the wealthier the homeowner is.
Wen Nan led Wenzhou City to the door, a large, vermilion-painted gate with a door handle the size of two heads. Wen Nan knocked on the door.
Soon, an attendant came and opened the door. Upon seeing that it was Wenzhou City, the man opened the door without even glancing at the person or offering a single word of greeting.
The two men from Wenzhou City and Wennan went inside like that.
The gatekeeper's attendant was eating melon seeds nearby, clearly not taking Wenzhou City seriously.
Whether it's a grand mansion or a prestigious noble family.
They're all all talk and no action.
Wenzhou city didn't seem to care at all.
The people around didn't take Wen Nan seriously either. Many maids and attendants passed by Wenzhou City on the way.
He didn't address me by name at all.
Is this the decorum a legitimate son should have in the household? Not even a simple bow or greeting from the maids and servants.
Wenzhou City remained expressionless, immersed in his joyful mood. He was about to move out with his older sister.
I no longer need to stay at the Wen family's house.
The maids beside him carefully examined Wen Nan.
Wen Nan has been kicked out for some time now.
The maids looked at each other, not recognizing the new maids, but finding the old ones familiar.
The main reason was that all the maids and servants who had previously served Wen Nan closely had been sent away.
Those who looked familiar were only those who had worked their way up from the bottom, and the masters had only seen them once or twice.
Apart from the maids who served her closely, the other maids would only see their mistress a few times a month.
So I didn't take it seriously.
The Wen family was a large and prosperous family, with a waterside pavilion in the Champs-Élysées, staggered towers, and koi carp raised in the pond.
The scenery was exceptionally beautiful, with artificial rock formations.
Corridors and floating windows... are everywhere.
Wenzhou City led Wen Nan unimpeded into his courtyard.
The wet nurse was the only one lying at the doorway in the courtyard, sitting in a rocking chair, taking a bite of pastry from the side.
The wet nurse didn't even lift her eyelids when she heard the noise at the door.
She knew that yesterday, that little brat from Wenzhou had gone to see his useless older sister who had been kicked out.
It's school time now, what's the little brat doing back here?
Although the wet nurse thought this way, she didn't even open her eyes.
In the courtyard of Wenzhou City, there was only one servant, a wet nurse, and no other servants.
The wet nurse was in charge of all the food, clothing, housing, and transportation in Wenzhou City all by herself.
When outside, the wet nurse naturally dressed up convincingly.
But does this orphan in Wenzhou City need someone to take care of him?
The wet nurse refused, knowing that Wenzhou City was out of favor and had a bad attitude towards Wenzhou City.
They rarely take care of Wenzhou City, as Wenzhou City can basically handle things on its own.
She ended up with a peaceful life, spending her days basking in the sun and enjoying Wenzhou pastries.
Although Wenzhou City was not favored, it still had no shortage of food and daily necessities.
She was extremely happy with her job as a wet nurse.
Wen Nan's cold gaze fell on the wet nurse. "You seem to be enjoying yourself."
Wen Nan's voice was devoid of warmth, as if a blade were slicing through one's heart, sending a shiver down one's spine.
The wet nurse opened her eyes and saw Wen Nan. She fell off the rocking chair and onto the ground.
"You... how did you get in?" the wet nurse stammered.
She swallowed a few times.
She needed to hurry and inform the second young lady.
"Get out." Wen Nan's pink lips parted slightly.
The wet nurse shuddered and quickly ran away.
Why is this young lady so scary...?
The wet nurse pondered the matter deeply but could not find a solution.
She must have felt guilty because she was caught shirking her work.
What is a little girl afraid of?
She had the nerve to come back after being kicked out, so she immediately went to report to the second young lady and got her kicked out as well!
The wet nurse straightened her back and immediately went into the warm courtyard.
He didn't take anything from Wenzhou City; he just carried a mahogany box inside and gave it to Wen Nan to hold.
Wenzhou Cheng struggled to lift it, so Wen Nan took the mahogany box from her hands. She raised an eyebrow; it was indeed quite heavy.
But Wen Nan is strong, and she can lift it.
"What's inside?" Wen Nan asked, looking up.
The city of Wenzhou immediately opened the rosewood box.
The box was filled with gold leaves and gold ingots, and the entire mahogany box, about an arm's length long, was piled high with them.
No wonder it's so heavy.
Does Wenzhou have a secret stash of money?
Wenzhou City mysteriously told Wen Nan, "Sister, this is all the money they gave me. I don't spend it; I save it all as your dowry."
Wen Nan's lips twitched imperceptibly.
She reached out and touched Wenzhou City's little head.
“But my sister is already married, so she doesn’t need the dowry anymore,” Wen Nan reminded Wenzhou City.
Wenzhou Cheng pursed his lips and didn't say anything. He was his brother-in-law now, but who knew if he would still be his brother-in-law in the future.
If not, then his money can naturally come in handy.
The rosewood box in Wenzhou City was still closed.
A woman's voice came from the doorway, unusually sharp.
"Block the doorway completely, don't let a single mosquito out!" Wen Nuan, dressed in a pink dress, arrived at the courtyard in Wenzhou City with a group of old women and maids, looking very aggressive.
She kicked the door open and saw Wen Nan standing in front of her.
She spat out, "Wen Nan, you've already been kicked out, how dare you still come here with such a thick skin?"
"What's wrong? Can't afford to eat? Thinking of coming back again?"
I'm telling you, as long as I'm here, you'll never be able to come back to the Wen family mansion!
Warm and aggressive, hands on hips.
He carefully closed the mahogany box in Wenzhou, but Wen Nuan still saw everything clearly.
"Second sister, I've come to collect something, and I'll never be coming back." Wenzhou Cheng stepped forward, her small body blocking Wen Nan's path.
“Going out is naturally the best option. What on you doesn’t belong to the Wen family? This money also belongs to the Wen family. You’re not allowed to take anything with you.” Wen Nuan put her hands on her hips and glanced at the mahogany box in Wen Nan’s hand.
Wenzhou City really does have hidden money; she doesn't know how many pieces of jewelry she could buy with that much money.
The warmth was almost mouthwatering.
"The Wen family?" Wen Nan sneered.
She repeated those three words to herself.
Warmth raised her head, her posture haughty.
She is now the second young lady of the Wen family, while Wen Nan is nothing. She has already been kicked out.
Thinking of this, Warmth became even more arrogant.
Wen Nan's cold gaze fell on her. "The Wen family is nothing but ingrates. This top bank in Jiangnan was built by my mother."
"The Wen family? From now on, the name of this Wen residence must be changed to the Shen residence." Wen Nan's voice was as sharp and clean as a blade.
Warmth was stunned.
She wasn't unaware of this; she knew that all the current foundations were built by the First Madam herself.
However, after the First Madam passed away, no one here dared to mention this matter.
It could be said to have become a taboo subject for the Wen family.
